It is also providing staff with hand sanitiser and will only be restocking shelves out of opening hours to limit contact.

Home Bargains

Home Bargains stores are open as normal at the moment, and you can find your local branch here.

Regular delivery costs £3.49, or £7.99 for large items, although if you spend more than £50 on certain items it is free.

B&M has said that it will stay open because it stocks food and grocery, pet food and hardware essentials.

Halfords

Customers are now not allowed into stores, but will only be let in as far as a desk in the front entrance where they can pay for goods.

The retailer is also no longer accepting cash payments for the foreseeable future - so you will need to have your card payment ready.

Assisted sales including bike purchase, collections and repairs can only be carried out via a booked appointment.

They advise customers to do click and collect before arriving at their stores.
